LIVE BURIAL - Unending Futility review



LIVE BURIAL - Unending Futility 

Transcending Obscurity Records




So while I was listening to this the first time and checking out the band info I realized something important. Holy Shit, this is RAT FACED BASTARD 2.0. For those of you who don't know. RAT FACED BASTARD were/are a death grind act from the UK. They were around a few years back and produced a couple of EPs of decent death grind material. 


So I'm looking at LIVE BURIAL's line-up and see that three band members were in RAT FACED BASTARD. Them being vocalist Jamie Brown, guitarist Rob Hindmarsh and drummer Matt Henderson. This band's line-up is followed up with bassist Lee Anderson who's also in a cool death metal act HORRIFIED. Finally there's guitarist Richard Codling. 


Musically is where it gets wild. Imagine if you will some old school death doom meets up with cool death grind and then crashes into decent tech death in one of those stupid traffic circles. I hate those circles by the way because people don't know how to navigate through em. But musically this works very well.


The key words when it comes to this, the band's second release, are fuckin amazing. First off Jamie Brown has that blast furnace vocal style which is fuckin fantastic. Add to that there are times when he comes off as a true fuck up emitting sickness and bile. Next up are the leads which are like lightning sizzling the hell out of you. The riffs and song structures are just cool as fuck. Love the silence while the bass steps in to push the song(s) forward.


In the end all I can say is what the fuck! Listening to this is like setting yourself on fire then running out the door onto the street and hoping the professionals don't catch you.
